FAQs

Jacobite glasses were used in the 18th century by secret sympathisers of the exiled House of Stuart to toast the rightful monarch in defiance of the Hanoverian dynasty.

These pieces were typically crafted from lead glass, utilising air twist techniques where imprisoned air bubbles within the molten stem were drawn into a spiral thread.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit heavy lead content, pontil marks on the underside of the foot, wear consistent with age, and hand-engraved detailing rather than modern machine etching.

Such historic items are best displayed securely within a glass-fronted cabinet or on a dedicated shelf where lighting can highlight the delicate engravings and optical qualities of the material.

Antique glass should be hand washed gently in lukewarm water using mild detergent and never placed in a dishwasher or exposed to sudden temperature changes.
